This is Fishing boats off Leith, possibly 'Zulu's.'
My love of technology increases daily. The 'Dell' is now hesitating to respond to my delicate touch, this means several attempts today to get the blessed thing to actually do what it is there for. Of course the router is not breaking down this week, it just will not go above a speed of 24.
So, I glanced at prices for new laptops, just in case, and decided there was no rush. The ones I consider useful range between £7-£900 and this means they can wait for a bit. Slowly my mind will work out how little I need such a machine and will soon find me something much cheaper.
My love of technology was not increased when I attempted to get the mobile working. Several attempts were required before switching off and starting again. I will not begin searching out prices for the new ones...

Are those Fife Zulus?
We too were on the hunt for a computer....a - not THE - neighbour's daughter is a bright hard working student, now starting on the long haul for the hope of getting a grant to go to university in three years' time.
Out of the blue, the college announces that she needs a computer - now. Mother is hard up, though doing her best to keep up with constant demands for changes of uniform, special design tools, you name it, so Leo said we would help out with a second hand one. Tried the gringo FB pages, explaining the situation and asking if anyone had one to sell....stony silence. Tried the computer repair shop and nearly had heart failure at the prices....eventually ran one to ground thanks to the lawyer daughter of a friend. More then we would have liked to pay...but at least the girl can get on with her studies.
Should you find a cheaper source for your laptop, do let me know. A friend is running the London Marathon and if I can order one online he could bring it back.
Fly, I think they may be. It says 'Fishing Boats off Leith,' but they look like 'Zulu's.' I have added a link that explains the name, you may like this.
A great link, thank you. And talk of coincidence, Nonesuch, the name of the first Zulu, was also the name of my school!
Fly, A great name 'Nonesuch!'
